Dark Mechanicus?

[voodoo]

Saw this during the Warhammer Day stuff and thought maybe...just maybe it's a Dark Mechanicus leak. It'd be cool, but then adding a new daemon engine unit to the CSM line would also fit the theme of the video.

"darkness made metal" with the only model visually shown being CSM and the shadowy figure with mecha-tendril arms

Dark Mechanicus would be cool... think there's a definite possibility this is it.

Well we have the traitor guard so some Dark Mechanicus models and a character (that seems to be some sort of techno-based daemon prince or something) are certainly possible.

I know it is pretty unlikely since we just got votann for the xeno races but I was kinda hoping we would see a Necron whos body/mind started to fall into the void of chaos.

Have one of the chaos gods realize that the necron mind is something that can feed them (was living)

Maybe get a void tainted necron, kind of like the flayed ones but more to the fall of chaos.

Could be a cool way to get some models that could be chaos OR necron. Like how the fallen could be chaos or Dark angel.

I've seen a few theories regarding dark mechanicus, I forget who but they showed a couple of the rumor engine pics, in particular the one that was a choasy looking hammer (I thought it was for a warpsmith) and the other was the lightning claw/flamer melta thingy. and both are part of the silhouette shown in the preview...
I thi k it was either auspex tactics, or chapter master valrek (or something like that)
